The Service Explained

Why Getting a Spare Key Now Makes Financial Sense

Most drivers only think about spare keys after losing the original. At that point a call-out, VIN-based key generation and ECU reprogramming costs from £145 — compared to £65–£85 for a spare made today while the original is in hand. The process is far simpler and significantly cheaper.

A spare key provides real peace of mind. Once programmed, it is stored in the vehicle's ECU alongside the primary key. It starts the car, operates the remote locking, and functions identically to the original. If the original is ever lost, the spare takes over immediately — no emergency call-out, no towing, no delay.

When a spare is programmed, both original and spare are registered in the ECU. If the original is ever lost, we can delete its code — so it cannot start the car — while leaving the spare fully active.
